Because of the uncertainty of the impending collective bargaining agreement, the Oklahoma City Thunder did not assign a number to Kevin Durant's maximum contract extension in 2010.

Durant was able to earn a larger contract based on what is referred to as the Derrick Rose Rule. After making two All-NBA teams, he was eligible to earn more than other players signing extensions fresh off the rookie-wage scale.

Based on the change, Durant was due $89,163,134 over five years under the new CBA, which outpaced the previous max deal of $74,302,616. In a recent board of governors meeting, NBA owners have agreed to pay the Thunder the $14,860,519 difference, according to a report from Grantland.com's Zach Lowe (via ProBasketballTalk.com).
